When office drone Richard Mayhew (Gary Bakewell) rescues a mysterious girl named Door (Laura Fraser), he unwittingly finds himself part of her quest to learn why her parents have been killed. The next thing he knows, Mayhew’s life changes forever as he's pulled into the fantastical world of "London Below," far from his mundane life in "London Above." Together, Richard and Door attempt to find the Angel Islington, who knows the secret behind the murder of Door's family, and possibly a way for Richard to go home. This 1996 urban fantasy was Neil Gaiman's first TV miniseries, which he later adapted into a novel.
